limit disk space used by vps

Question

I got a VPS on Debian and I often tend to run into an issue with disk space. I got a huge error log generated or a huge backup etc and I max out the disk space and that causes mysql to stop working.

How can I limit my vps disk usage to say, 90%? This way even if I max it out the mysql could work properly. I'm not sure I explained it correctly.

Partition the disk(s), and put MySQL's data on its own dedicated partition. — ceejayoz, Jan 02 '18 at 14:19
Or put /var/log on its own partition... or set up logrotate so it rotates logs based on size — ivanivan, Jan 02 '18 at 16:21

We have options to restrict with user access and mount points. But for production servers, we can play with Monitoring tools like Nagios.so we will have heads ups with disk-usage
